Caravaggio, Rest on the Flight into Egypt, 1595 Sensory perception can be guided, influenced and modified in various ways, from the subconscious, the attention, from the external stimulus, the sexual drive, the system of beliefs, from libido to possess the object of desire or intention consciously choose to see, understand and assimilate the elements of beauty (infrared spectrum), truth (vibration ultraviolet) and perfection (balance red and blue) that are contained in the images, and only in the images as they appear in the eyes of consciousness. Already in the early works Caravaggio develops the themes of critical knowledge of reality (see Q1) leading in a short time the artist's creative curiosity to investigate all aspects and content of 'beauty, truth and perfection' present in the words of the Gospel. The events and persons of sacred texts, the intention of the intellective invested to understand, interpret and make current the "sacred conscience, inspire the artist to the principles of a new" music. " In the painting " Rest on the Flight into Egypt " Caravaggio came to define the relationship between silent sensory intuitions (the mother) with the emotions of the heart (the son). Mary and her son Jesus, tenderly embraced in a moment of rest, describing the unbreakable bond of thoughts and emotions, intuitions and feelings, memories and feelings that forms within the individual who stops, even for a moment to reflect on the contents of experience. On the other side of the couple, San Jose embodies the consciousness of the alchemist that sensory waiver to interfere (the putative father) with critical thinking, pre-packaged ideas and insights in the abstract process of sensory information from the system automatically perception (the Virgin Mother) connected to the memory emotional (baby Jesus). The presence of the donkey on the scene makes explicit the intention of Caravaggio to bring the "search for truth" on a pre-rational mind can relieve the effort, anxiety and suffering of not being able to understand the logic of life, many because of the existence or the reason for the madness unleashed by the "followers of Herod" that for centuries continue undeterred to make the slaughter of innocents.
The rest of the Holy Family during the flight into Egypt by Caravaggio is reinterpreted metaphorically in order to establish a firm point of spiritual quest. The absence of ego leads the putative I (San Jose) to exercise a representative role only. It is not the biological father of the "child" as the "emotions of the heart" arise spontaneously irrespective of the wishes of the individual, just as it never interferes in any step of the Gospel, the relationship that combines the experience of emotions (the son ) with the insights of perceptual processing (the mother). This means that I must give up power peculiar alchemy of language and logical thinking and rational to describe the reality, as the body is able to independently develop a logical and intuitive enough to know as capable of grasping the truth directly from the reflected images, and to leverage on the faculties of sensory perception to understand everything from dall'indizio suggestive of the part. For modern scholars, as Gehlen, this capability, already in action at the perceptual-motor, runs all cognitive processes to the most advanced forms of the language of logic and translog. The opening to the world of the senses, the undisputed realm of emotional awareness that evolves from body care, skin sensitivity and proprioception, the originator of sensory knowledge, represented in the report that the deified body established with God (the Truth). Since then the knowledge sensations, and from their appointment (the day of the creation of the natural world), the alchemist develops the ability to extend the analogy understanding of reality through the cognitive perception of bodily feelings (the Logos) and then turn on the power of self-expression ( the Word) which you can access the upper stages of symbolic knowledge. "The world of the senses is so symbolic, and this means that references, abbreviations, fore and intersections, shadows, reflections, color or quality formal showy enough to give an account of the actual masses of the objects. The desirability of this biological fact lies on one side and the acceleration exempting reactions in this way possible, on the other, and above all, in being the only possible in areas overview symbolic. " This form of relief and accelerarazione reactions, made possible by the decision to refrain from any form of analysis, calculation or assessment outline (the so-called "blinders") enables the 'mens cogitative' to capture and store whole areas of allusions. "Only then we can embrace a comprehensive look rather wide areas, and the perception, so that individual can ignore the masses, becomes available for higher performance, just panoramic" (Gehlen, 1956). The alchemist who "escapes" in the land of Egypt, formerly called Al - Khema (black earth), is about to begin so the study of "signs, symbols, allegories, and hieroglyphics" necessary to rebuild the knowledge that originates in the clay, the first material with which God shapes the earthly Adam.
